Experience the exchanges on muscle-powered vehicles
For one month between February and March 2022, an international event on human (or muscle) powered aircraft and vehicles will be accessible remotely. On this occasion, the second edition of the International Congress on Muscle-Propelled Aircraft and Vehicles will be organized by the Human Impulse team (Evering Institute/University of Bordeaux). Due to the health crisis, it will take place on the internet in 3D and the conferences broadcast live and then accessible in streaming for 3 weeks.
Take part in the HUMAN IMPULSE adventure…
Conferences presentation of results
Positioning papers
The purpose of a position paper is to convince the audience that your opinion is valid and worth hearing, without the need to present completed research and/or validated results.
Contribution Panel "Poster"
Main themes of the conferences
Human-powered transport
New materials for HPV
Competitions & Challenges
Human-powered land vehicles
Human-powered marine vehicles
Human-powered aircraft
Energy autonomy
Energetic efficiency
University projects
Call for presentations, articles, posters & demonstrations
If you have a 3D digital model of your device, it can be displayed in the main room in 3D so that visitors can discover it.
We hope to be able to count you among the speakers of this event.
To propose a presentation: Title of the intervention and abstract.
Your submissions are expected until January 15, 2022.
A selection notification will be sent to you between December 15 and January 20, one week after submission.
Same calendar for those who would like to submit a “poster” presented in the form of an exhibition panel (pdf format).
You can submit your title and a 2-3 line abstract, or ask your questions by email directly to:
david.reungoat@u-bordeaux.fr
VISIT THE PERMANENT INTERACTIVE 3D SHOWROOM
Specific slots will allow you to exhibit the 3D models of your prototype all year round. You just have to send us CAD files in STEP format.
Same way if you wish to present an “exhibition panel” in this new dematerialized space open to all.
Featured designers
He was the engineer of Google Inc. which launched the RechargeIT plug-in vehicle project.
At AeroVironment, he was a member of the engineering team that created the GM Impact prototype. The Impact went into production as the GM EV1, the first modern high-powered AC induction electric vehicle and it is the granddaddy of all modern electric vehicles like the Tesla, Leaf and Volt.
In 1956 he won the title of international gliding champion.
He designs HPAs such as the Gossamer Condor, the first human-powered aircraft to win the Kremer Prize in 1977, and the Gossamer Albatross, the first to cross the English Channel in 2 hours and 49 minutes in 1979.
He is considered one of the fathers of modern HPA engineering.
